WYOMING -- A 60-year-old maintenance worker at a Wyoming home for senior citizens is accused of sexually assaulting some of the residents there, police said today.

Gilbert William Schwenk was arraigned today in Wyoming District Court on two counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct and one count of assault and battery.

Wyoming police said he was a maintenance worker at Pine Oak Apartments, 850 36th Street SW.

Police described the residence as an "independent living senior community."

Detectives allege Schwenk had inappropriate contact with an elderly female resident and, through further investigation, determined there were other victims.

Fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct, a high-court misdemeanor carrying a potential two-year prison term, is a charge that involves inappropriate touching. The assault and battery charge also is a misdemeanor.

Schwenk was released from custody on a $5,000 personal recognizance bond. He may have no contact with the alleged victims, according to his bond conditions.

Anyone with information about the alleged incidents can call Wyoming police at 530-7300.
